4.0

There's a lot to like about this new pro quality design from Panasonic. It weighs 2kg-plus, but its balance is good and it shone in our tests, particularly the wire brushing with its 1,580rpm top speed.

Control is easy and there's loads of low-speed torque, adjustable with three settings in each of the two speeds. Kit includes two long-lasting 5Ah batteries, which saw it top the stamina test. Our blow-the-budget buy.
